    Welp, I guess another time to move here soon.

    And I just fucking vouched for them to a friend recently 🤡

    Didn’t know about VC funding these parasites using their funding to turn everything into shite.

    What’s the current “best” alternative? Keepass?

      I haven’t jumped yet, but the Proton suite is looking more and more appealing. I’ve been eyeing them as a Gmail replacement, but I’ve been happy with my VPN and password management providers. As this reduces the bundle makes more sense.

        They have a solid value proposition but don’t like putting all my eggs all in one basket both for security and monopoly reasons.

        They seem to be gunning for one stop shop and I think they are doing decent shop but I just don’t like the idea after what Google did to us.

        Situation is a bit different but gonna need to tka the lessons and not let these corpos do this again.

          That’s a good practice, and I think you’re right that is what they’re going for. I don’t think that means you shouldn’t consider them, but it does lower their value proposition as the bundle is the better deal.

          this isnt a full solution obviously, but I figured it’d be nice to know: Proton lets you set different passwords for your email and password manager, so at least from a security standpoint its not all behind the same password, even if it is still from the same company

      It’s not open source, but I got a lifetime license for Enpass over a decade ago and it’s done everything I’ve ever needed it for. I think stacksocial occasionally has new lifetime codes for sale. I like the idea of Proton Pass as others have said, but it feels a bit like putting all my eggs in one basket, which is a mistake I already made with Google before (context: I use Proton for email). I think Keepass is the next best option if dedicated to staying FOSS.
